Template documentation[  purge ]

Template:Country data Commonwealth of Nations is an internal data container not intended to be transcluded directly. It is used indirectly by templates such as {{flag}}, {{flagcountry}}, and others.

This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
`alias`	`Commonwealth of Nations`	Main article name (Commonwealth of Nations)
`shortname alias`	`Commonwealth`	(optional) Display name to be used for the wikilink, if `alias` is a disambiguated article name, for example.
`flag alias`	`Infobox Commonwealth of Nations flag.svg`	Image name (File:Infobox Commonwealth of Nations flag.svg, shown on right)

Flag variants

These variants cannot be used unless the line | variant = {{{variant|}}} is added to this template.

Example usage

{{flag|Commonwealth of Nations}} → Commonwealth of Nations

{{flagcountry|Commonwealth of Nations}} → Commonwealth

Using a flag variant

TemplateData

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
